Lateral wrap construction secures during side cuts

The Vanish Carbon gives runners a propulsive and well-cushioned road racing option that offers modern performance while staying true to the brand's natural-feeling fit and zero-drop design. This unique racing shoe features an all new foam called EGOPRO which is Altras lightest and most energy-efficient compound available, and embedded in the comfortably bouncy foam is a segmented carbon fiber plate with a fork-like design. The 3-finger carbon plate gives runners a more natural ride that works with the foot while also providing an efficient and snappy toe-off.

• Altra EgoPRO midsole is Altra's lightest weight and most responsive supercritical TPE-based compound that is designed to be resilient and hyper-responsive
• Natural Ride System (NRS) design includes a more natural, foot-shaped last, zero millimeter heel-to-toe drop, and metatarsal-specific shapes in the outsole to assist in proper foot mechanics and allow for more natural foot movement
• Segmented Carbon Fiber Plate embedded in the forefoot and midfoot of the midsole
• Race-Inspired Upper is lightweight, thin, and built to provide a trustworthy lock-down on race day
• Slim Foot Design follows a more narrow design that provides a race-ready fit but keeps the brands signature foot shape through the toe box
• Strategic Rubber provides nice durability and traction while keeping weight at a minimum
